an engine has finally turned up for sale. but it has a problem. the sprag clutch is gone. as im goin to have to split the engine cases to put the gear selector drum in out of the tiger i can see this bein a possible engine for me tiger  :bug_eye
ive looked throo the forum at sprag issues but cant seem to find out what it is that actually breaks, so can someone tell me what bit it is and how it breaks ? and if someone has the part number for this modified neutral switch id be most grateful as theres 2 switches listed on the parts diagram at triumph.

hopefully me tiger will be back soon  :thumbsup

I seem to have read somewhere that its just a spring that breaks, although i could be wrong.  :icon_scratch:

As for the neutral switch, i know some on the Rat site have fitted a longer switch to cure the problem of the worn plate that causes the problem, but if you`re stripping the motor, might be worth replacing the plate?

Seem to remember the longer switch is from a Bonneville.

the neutral switch part you want is T1190248
and the spring from this seal for sprag fix (assuming the rest of sprag is ok)

Think you`ll need the ecu from the Triple, did you get that as well?

And you don't like washing it after every ride  :icon_wink:

Glad to read you've found something suitable.

Depends on what era the Triple was from, they've made a Triple version of each iteration of the engine as far as I can remember.  Even the Trident was up on power compared with the Tiger so it should have some go about it.

What fuelling system has it got??? what year was the triple???

If it's the same as the Girlies you're laughing.  Until you try riding at 30 mph anyway.... :icon_rolleyes:

Trident 900 will raise the redline to above 10 k if I'm not mistaken.
The igniter from a daytona super III would be a good one also but you will need to have the head from the super three as well as carbs to see any real benefit.
even a trophy igniter or sprint will give a boost to hp . more so the sprint than the trophy
I can vouch from experience though that just simply using a sprint engine with every thing else "tiger" you will have a very happy and smooth setup. my seat of pants dyno says it will take a stock tiger in a drag race !

I think my Trident was 10500rpm red line, and claimed 93bhp.  The early speed triple made around 108bhp if I remember rightly, which would put your Tiger on par with a Girly as long as you have the right parts.

Just found the spec sheet, it (the T309) made 98BHP, 5 more than the Trident.
